Note - short legs / graphic software / no obligation / foolish

         Late morning. You and Carol both walked the park this morning. She walked one and a half miles according to your iPhone app and you walked a mile according to yours. It turns out that Carol walked about the same number of steps you did to go a mile and a half as you did to do one mile. – Amorella

         1105 hours. I have shorter legs though I am taller (though shrinking). I used to be exactly six feet tall now I am five feet and just short of eleven inches. Carol is still five feet seven inches. Anyway, I have mapped out a one-mile walk with three benches along the way so when the weather is nice and now that the temperature is down some we can go anytime in the morning and I’ll get in at least thirty minutes of walking exercise. The park is beautiful this time of year, not only with colors but also with a cool nip in the air.

         You are thinking on how to better express your perspective of how the Merlyn books reflect your view of what is important in measuring a personal sense of reality-in-the-world of being human – the difference between being and not-being. Both allot for different forms of consciousness (recognitions of being or not). – Amorella

         1156 hours. Yesterday I stated that I have a problem ‘seeing’ the scope of reality presented in the Merlyn books in terms of illustrations and the like but I need to draw a sense of reality, that is to draw a framework of how I view reality in the books even though they are fiction in Merlyn’s dream segments. The framework, dreams or not, is in words (novel format) not dreams. I need a tinker-toy construction of reality as represented within the GMG trilogy.

         Before going to lunch you bought two new programs, both you hope, might help you with the Merlyn books. - Amorella

          1446 hours. Buying this software was so bad; I mean I felt like I was five through seven years old again – when I tried to draw comics and tell a storyline in the process

         You are sitting in Barnes and Noble while Carol is doing some fun searching. You had a great lunch at Marx Bagels on Kenwood Road in Blue Ash, and after this stop you are washing the car at Mike’s then up Mason-Montgomery Road to Kroger’s before heading home. Your second app purchase was “Live Interior 3D Standard”. - Amorella

         Mid-afternoon. You are home. When at Marx Bagels you picked up the newest issue of The American Israelite, the oldest Jewish weekly in America, established in 1854 with the motto, “Let there be light”. – Amorella

         1607 hours. I read through the weekly; the focus is local, but not all, the other is on Israel. The writing style overall is much solider than that of the Enquirer; that is the copy is concise, clear and uniform in presentation – much better than my own delivery also. So, who am I to critique?

         At the time of reading you wondered if any of Isaac Singer’s works ever appeared in the local paper. – Amorella

         1616 hours. The point was/is not worth mentioning.

         I, the Amorella, think it is worth mentioning, so I did.

         1617 hours. Amorella, I have long ago given up sharing thoughts that few others would even think about let alone consider. This blog does give me an outlet though, which I assume is helpful for my mental health. People don’t want to be bored by someone’s personal ramblings. I don’t blame them because I don’t either. No obligation to read; the words are silent either way.

         Sounds good, orndorff. Post. - Amorella

         You had a snack supper and watched “Blacklist”, “NCIS” and NBC News. Carol is watching “The Good Wife”. You are interesting in learning about your new apps. I suggest you work on the Comic app. I also suggest you work on a Merlyn portrait first to get the hang of it. – Amorella

         1955 hours. This work is an aside. I need to create a Merlyn based on my imagination of how he should look not a preconceived face.

         Yes. You follow the same procedures as with words. At first you can find a face online to practice with. I will help you with this. Let’s see what we can come up with. – Amorella

         2007 hours. Lots of pictures of old men’s faces, but nothing.

         Look at the Comic software. – Amorella

         2021 hours. I don’t know what I was thinking. I can’t do this stuff. This software is not for a novice. I thought you could build a face from what is on hand in the software. Foolish me. I’ll take a look at the other software program.

         2109 hours. The Interior Design is much easier to operate intuitively. Easy tutorial. I am going to practice by working on the upstairs bathroom. I think I just wasted my money on the Comic app. I need much more background before I can hope to use it.


         You are backing up to your offline memory. Post. – Amorella
